Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
What you'd be doing in this role
As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who is not afraid to jump into the complex technical space of the Video Editor team. The team is currently being managed by two engineering managers. You'll be managing this team of 18-20 engineers (including 2-3 Staff Engineers) through these two engineering managers, with a part of the team (3-6 engineers) reporting directly to you.
Video is a complex technical problem that requires multiple parts of the software system to work seamlessly to deliver a smooth video editing and playback experience to users. The Video Editor team owns all of the frontend of our Video tech stack - editing, timeline & playback.
We are seeking someone who wants to be in the thick of it - working across technical design, code architecture, hiring, engagement with key stakeholders across the business, and professional growth and development of the people they lead.
You're probably a match if you have:

This enhanced editing experience will make it far easier for social media users to bring their ideas to life, and create engaging and professional content that stands out.

What's in it for you?
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
